The grounds was tastefully laid out, the mountain air delicious and invig orating.

She looked so frightened trial L turn’s heart leap d to tier mouth. ‘On, Miss Laura, your aunt’s hurt her ankle had, and I’m ’most afraid t's broki'. She wits half-way down I the stairs, w hen she tell, and her whole weight came on it.” But Laura was iu tiie house by this time. She found her aunt in her room, a trout chamber opposite the stairs down which she had fal len. Miss Southwell lay on the lounge looking very pule, but composed, anti said, in a soothing tone to Lair? ra, “Don’t he frightened, child; my ankle’s not broken, only badly sprained. Katy’s drawing me some hot water to'shower it with. I feel that you and Alfred must he my inaia dependence.” “You and Alfred.” It seemed an odd conjunction. But Laura only murmured, as She laid her cheek against Miss South well’s. “What cau we do for you, dearest aunty?” Aunt Letty kissed the girl affec tionately. “Our frie.id- from .New York will be here this afternoon, as you know, and I atn sure they Will spend at least a week with us.

Now, Laura, you have prov ed yourself such a capable little housekeeper on one or two occa- si-11s that I feel that I can tru-d you even with company in the house.

I want you to go to market first thifig. . Your cousin wili drive you over, I know. Don’t he afraid to call upon him for any thing. I’ve always found him kind and obliging. And then lie has such good judgment. Here is the list of things I wish you to order.” Whatever misgivings Laura felt, she did uot make them known. I’ll do just whtft you tell me, aunty,” she said, with unwonted docility. “Now please attend to that poor ankle right away. Sha’n’t we stop at the doctor’s and ask him to come round?” “No, no; I’m an old hand at sprains, and caft treat it better my- ser “Well, don’t worry, preeiou: uro, and I won’t own him for Vj for we'll do our very best,” j said Laura. • Buc as she descended the stairs i she felt half afraid, half rebellious. .’•‘I hate to ask lum,” she murmured to herself. “How did he treat me I last night, and this morning, too! i Whv, he would scarcely look at me.” Yet in her heart there was a se- i cre t longing to be friends with her cousin. She was too proud to apol- j ogize, hut an idea struck her just i then. Her face broke into a smile, to Alfred’s; aS) taking out her handkerchief, she [as eomplet- ! t it to the handle of her parasol, mting out i «My flag of truce,” she said, giving Jd catch a j it a flourish. “I shall ask for a sos- es, he wasipension of hostilities till uncle gets But come, now; cheer et dressed as quickly as pos t-oil won’t be ready to re company.” Iwotild better run and dress little lady; it’s more your than mine.” •?

It seemed strange to be on such pleasant terms with her enemy. But this feeling soon wore 1 way. The ride in the moun.ain air was delightful, and ere long she found herself talking to Alfred as she had never talked before. He [ was an uncommonly intelligent young fellow, a good student, hut not in the least absent minded Nothing seemed to escape his ob servation, and with ail he was so full of fun and boyish spirits. Laura found him a most agreeable com panion, and he on his part saw her in a new light, and began to feel decidedly eonsinly and affectionate. Always bright anil artless, she was this morning really amiable. Only once did a little sarcastic remark escape her, whereupon Alfred with out a word, poinied smilingly to the handkerchief still waving from the parasol that lay across her lap. A bright color rose in her cheeks, hut she looked up sweetly and frankly into his face. “Please for give me,”she said: “I had no busi ness to :ire that shot, but. I did it from force of habit.” She turh-ad away her head immedi ately, hui Alfred’s keen eye.-, notic- • : toe slight quiver of her lip, and ili.ii ri.e i.ait to. wink hard to keep the tcirs hack. He changed the conversation nt once, and they weie soon chatting gayly again. roguish but wistful look. “Well, is it necessary to resume the campaign?” says her cousin, kindly. “I find the present atmos phere very refreshing myself. Sup pose we swear a perpetual peace?” Laura tries t-o laugh, but the bright eyes are full of tears, and her voice trembles as she answers: “Cousin Alfred, you are so kind; you give me courage to do what I have longed to do all day—apologize for my badness, and p romise to ‘try and he good’ from this time.” His fair enemy has surrendered at last, unconditionally; but it Alfrtd feels any masculine triumph. 1 e does not betray it by word or look. “SYe’il both -tart again ,” lie says, heartily taking the littie hand in his large grasp for a moment. “For myself, I feel I’ve been a dictatori al, overhearing sort of a fellow, and I wanted to ask your pardon in my turn. And now may I ask great favor that you will give me that blessed little flag of truce? want it for a memento of this aus picious day.” “1 give you half of it with pleas ure,” says Laura, with a musical lit tle laugh. “But I’d like to have half myself to remind me always to keep the peace.’ ” Miss Higley, who, while pretend ing to talk with her cousin, had been watching the couple furtively, now said, in a sharp tone: “Well, they really seem almost ‘spooney; and to think how they’ve been sparring ever since he came! George, do you think you see any signs of—well, you know what I mean—o\er there?” “Well,” said G°orge, his shrewd face breaking into a kindly smile, I’m not a great judge of such mat ters, and I don’t like to jump at conclusions; but judging from ap pearances, I should say there were signs not, only of solid peace, hut of a life-long union between the two bellige rants.”—Harper* Bazar. He Cured A Balky Horse. That evening about a dozen young people were gathered in Miss Southwell’s pleasant parlors. Miss Higley had arrived early -dth her two cousins, and shortly two or three other friends dropped in. ier Miss Southwell’s house wa= very popular with the young peo ple. Laura, sorry as she felt for her limit, had found this a very happy day. She was proving herself in deed “a capable little housekeeper.” Then Alfrtd had been so good, so kind, so efficient. He was always on hand to assist her, and to help entertain the-companv, which none eoui i do better than he. TIte evening passed pleasantly away, while they played games, sang and danced by turns. Miss Higley, who admired Alfred intensely, and who had allowed herself, in spite of the difference in th -ir ages to entertain hopes in that direction, marked with dis pleasure how friendly lie and his fair cousin had become. Toward the close of the evening they danc ed to b ether, and her eyes followed them malignantly as, the dance over, they retreated to a corner of a room an-i seemed absorbed in conversation. “They are polite to desert their company that way!” she said, with a sneer, to her cousin, George Lane. “Why, they’ve been doing their best to entertain us all evening, and the company’ seems happy enough, I’m sure,” said good-natur ed George, glancing around him. “ ‘Every Jack has his Jill,’ and no body looks neglected. Why shouldn’t they have a little friendly- chat together?" Meanwhile Laura is saying with a sigh, “We have a telegram from uncle—he will be home tonight.” “Are you sorry?” asks Allred, with a kindly twinkle in his-eyes. “J?ot Sony to see uncle, bat—veil. The 2«ew York Sun. A builder’s cart, loaded with bar rels of lime, came to a sudden halt in the Bowery, just above Btoome street, yesterday. The load was heavy and the horse, a powerful bay, who could have hustled along t wice us big a load if he had had a minffto, came loan unaccountable conclusion just then and would not go a step further. He planted his forelegs well forward and turned a deaf ear to the alternate cajolery and cursing of his driver. The tail of the cart blocked the down track, and the cars shortly accumulated in a ion g line. Drivers and conductors gathered about the horse and cart and volun teered all sorts of suggestions as 1o starting the horse. A dozen of them pushed at the eart, and the driver, a chunky littie man, with a red face and a higlily assorted vo cabulary, plied his whip with all his strength, but the horse appeared to be lost in thought. •Tust.then a brewer’s wagon,bound up town, rolled heavily past. The driver, a rosy-cheeked German, who wore a black velvet cap and a suit of corduroy, was in a daze. A jolt awoke him. He looked sleepi ly at the tugging, perspiring, swear ing men, and the calmly superior horse. He reigned in his own great, lazy horses, and lounged down to the frozen street. He looked the balky horse full in the eyes for an instant. Then lie said, “Maype I don’t fix dot feller.” 1 hen he step ped to the left side of the horse, scratched a match against the shaft and held it close to the horse’s ear. It heated the inside of the ear with out burning it. The horsesitook his head but stood his ground. Anoth er match was applied; his rigid fore legs were drawn in and he stood erect. A ’bird match had electric effe*t. The horse started off wildly almost upsetting his driver, and was last seen going dowi^the Bow ery at break-neck speed. The small German driver got a cheer from the delighted crowd He smiled, mounted leisurely to his’ seat, chirruped to his four horses and rolled placidly on.

Preparation had been made throughout the Union to celebrate the day with unusual pomp and dis play. John Adams and Thoms Jefferson had both been invited to tarticipate in ihe festivities of the occasion, at their several places of abode. But a higher summons awaited them—they were bidden to a “Jubilee” above, which shall ha ve no end! On that naif-century anni versary of American independence, at nearly the saiuc hour of the day, the sj-irits of Ad tins and Jefferson took lin ir departure from earth. Amid ilie rejoicing of the people the peals of artillery, the strains of music, the exultations of a great na tion in tiie enjoyment of freedom peace and happiness, they were re leased from the toils of life and al lowed to enter on their rest. The one virtually the mover, the other the framer, of the immortal Declaration of Independence—they had together shared the danger and honors of the revolution; had serv ed their country in various import ant and responsible capacities; had both received the highest honors in the gift of their felloweitizens; had lived to see the nation to which they assisted in giving birth assume a proud stand among the nations offlie earth, her free institutions framed, consolidated, tried and ma tured, her commerce hovering over, all seas, respected abroad, united, prosperous, happy at home—what more had earth in store for them? Together they had counseled; together they had dared the power of a proud and powerful govern ment; together they had toiled to build up a great and prosperou people; together they rejoiced in the success with which a wise and good Providence had crowned their labors and together, on their country’s natal day, air,id the loud swelling acclamation of the'national jubilee” their freed spirits soared to li: h! and glory above.
